Vote Lombard!



So I voted yesterday, of course. We got a new voting method in Minneapolis which lets you rank your top three preferences for each position in order of preference. Which is a good thing, because our choices for Mayor this year were too interesting to be able to pick just one:



Guess who my third choice was?

VOTE LOMBARD, 2009!

This isn't the first time I've posted a picture of our voting ballot. We always seem to have odd voting options in Minneapolis. Is it just the Midwest or what gives? Does everybody else have odd party titles like we do or should I really be proud to live where you can run on the "Is Awesome" ticket?

I'm also curious about what word was "censored" from Bob Carney Jr's party title. My assumption is "asshole," but in politics I guess you really never can know for sure.

P.S. The name Lombard reminds me way too much of Office Space, and one phrase from that film in particular. Can anyone guess of which phrase I speak?

I had to google Bob Carney Jr out of curiosity. The censored word? "Republican". HAHAHAHA!

the "censored" word is Republican. I guess they can't put two "official" parties on the same line.

BTW: my 3rd choice was Joey too. How could ANYONE pass up the "is awesome" party?

Haven't stopped by in ages, Dan, but I'm glad I thought to. Lombard got my second choice. I mean really, Is Awesome? Fantastic.

By the way, I bought a stripclub.

Toodles!

I'm checking out www.joeyformayor.com

"Earlier I made the very solemn promise that I will not kill all the puppies in the world. My intention was that other candidates for mayor would jump on the bandwagon. That has not happened."

hilarious!
